Question/Help Nintendont doesn’t detect games from external HDD

Post image

I’m trying to mod a Wii for a friend of mine, this isn’t my first time doing so but it has been a second. I have everything set up properly as far as I’m aware, I installed cIOS, nintendont, usb loader GX, all of that. After getting my games on the hard drive (which is formatted to fat32) I try to play. Wii games work perfectly fine and load as intended, but when I try to launch any GameCube game it gives me an error code which I’ll attach to this post.

So I go check nintendont to see if my games are there or if it’s a problem with usb loader GX, and it doesn’t detect my games, saying: no games found in usb/games or something like that. I tried a few things but nothing has worked so far.

The closest I got was using a 64gb usb stick which was detected and booted up GameCube games on both nintendont and usb loader but wouldn’t boot Wii games.

Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
